@toddedillard I’ve often thought about how I cannot possibly be engaged by my own poem the way I can someone else’s - it only another writer’s that shows me what’s possible

“Much that is beautiful must be discarded
So that we may resemble a taller

Impression of ourselves. Moths climb in the flame,
Alas, that wish only to be the flame…”

— John Ashbery, from “Illustration”

I don't believe in failed drafts, you don't call every stroke that carries you to the shore drowning do you

[Stone Circle Review @stonecirclerev]

"A lot of writing consists of waiting around for the aquarium to settle so you can see the fish. Walking around muttering seems to hasten the process.”
